Re: Mutawatir Ahadith superceding Holy Quran’s Ayats
here the part of quoted text in post # 9
^^ uptil here it is alright. Hadees and sunnah is the primary source for understanding quran
One or two scholars does not constitute ‘jamhor’. Secondly quran is the the word of God and prvovided absolute protection by him (it is part of faith) collection of hadees is a human efforts and is prone to mistake,errors ommisions… Mut’watar hadees is no exception either.
Regarding your example, Its is common rule that any quranic command can be ammended by any other quranic verse which is revealed later. For instance prohibition of intoxicants etc.
you and mufti sahab needed to read the quran where Allah himself explains the matter of interitence in sura nisa, chapter 4 where complete proportion of share for heirs is given in detail
You can see the exact proportions of share for near kins has been ordained in this ayat and the next few ayaat. Parents are part of it. This verse of quran takes away the right (which was precviously granted in ayat 2:180).So no bequest for parents now, as Allah himself has defined their share.
So it is not the hadees which supercede quran, it is another quranic ayat which provide guidance in this mater
Also a person is allowed, a bequest (at most) one third of his property/wealth to anyone who is not mentioned in the list legal heirs in islam. Quran encourages muslim to share wealth with those relatives and unrelated poor orphans too. (4:8)
I was about to quote this ayat in my response to Br. Khanbabax however you got to it first. JAK, your knowledge is good brother.
I have seen a lot of confusion like this because the time period in which a Sunnah was established is often not known relative to the Quranic revelation.
